Abstract

An adjustable hitch assembly has a drawbar, a vertically-adjustable hitch-ball mounting block, a variable elevation spacing column, hitch balls, and assorted hardware including a variety pins. The hitch-ball mounting block has essentially an eyebar shape with one eye-end slidable on the column at variable elevation spacings relative the drawbar and the other eye-end receiving the shank base of hitch balls, optionally two inverted with respect to each other. The column has a slide-off prevention provision proximate the bottom end that prevents the hitch-ball mounting block from sliding off the bottom when un-pinned. Thus, the hitch-ball mounting block has to be slid onto the column over the top end thereof at a time before the drawbar. The column is axially striped with one or more axial grooves from top to bottom to reduce sliding friction during vertical re-adjustment of the hitch-ball mounting block.
